Men's Track Star Phillips Named Pac-10 Athlete Of The Week

April 11, 2000

TEMPE, Ariz. - Senior Dwight Phillips earned this season's first Pac-10 athlete of the week honors as he placed third in the 100m at the Texas Relays with a wind-aided 10.12.

In the previous day's qualifier, he clocked a wind-aided 10.11 to win his heat. As the wind was above the NCAA-allowable 4.0 mps in both events, he cannot use those times to qualify for the NCAA Championships.

His time was the second fastest in ASU history. The senior from Tucker, Ga. is a six-time All American, holds four school records and is a two-time NCAA runner-up in the indoor long jump.

Phillips and the rest of the ASU men's and women's track teams will be in action this weekend at Sun Angel Track Classic. Field events will begin at 3:30 p.m. followed by running events at 4:30 p.m.
